Resizer 1.3–Improved quality and image support

My aptly named image resizing application Resizer has been updated to version 1.3. The update brings a couple of essential features regarding image support as well as a change to the resizing implementation. I recently stumbled upon a blog post by Keyvan Nayyery on how different ways to resize an image in .NET affects the outcome. By setting some options on the graphics element and using an image codec, you get a clearly superior result. The improvement varies between different types of images but the improved clarity can be quite significant. So thanks to Keyvan for doing the research.

Version 1.3 change log:

• Added support for png images.
• Fixed missing support for jpg images with the extension 'jpeg'.
• Improved image quality of resized images.

You can download the updated executable here and the source code here (note that the solution has been updated to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4 Client Profile).
